So, not just the "having a 1500kg weapon", but also having to make sure that your 1500+kg weapon does not attack some other 1500+kg weapon while both are armed and are in the process of being discharged, continuously.
Yeah, that would be a stressor.

Well, at least I only have to worry about my ~15kg runaway device, not getting hit by any of those weapons.
Oh wait, I also have to worry about the fragile thing not breaking down under my own force and running me straight into one of those weapons.

That was my thought too. And not a snarky one, but a genuine one.

I remember once, giving a civil smile, while thinking 'meh', on receiving a compliment once. Because I felt that the complement was for the sake of complementing, but at the same time, the words were +ive, so I felt the need to respond positively.

... because you wanted to have your hair stolen off your corpse, by her?

The 4th one specially looks pretty close.
Might even have been some species with wider mouths at the time.

The F1 with a single seat.

When you reach the epitome, with noone to accompany you.


spoilerThis breaks down immediately, because you have multiple others around you, on the same track. They are your colleagues, your friends and your rivals.

And I haven't checked, but I'd say the F1 is more efficient at running than the Lambos

What if it were just a really big Expert system?

That's usually the thing that you call AI players or COM players in computer games.

Probably doesn't follow the spec very closely.

It doesn't require you to put a double space in the end off a line to get to the next. This is similar to a lot of other implementations you see on web pages.
But it does at least follow through with single level ordered and unordered lists (bullets and numbering) and even automatically adds a bullet when you press Shift+Enter
Also, single line code and code blocks, work.
Then there is the usual italics and bold and even a quote block.

It also converts most of them while you type, instead of you having to wait until sending it, which is better than UIs that don't even have a preview button. I like Preview buttons.


I'd say, it's good enough for casual stuff.

OIC. I should have thought about that.
And here I was considering making this the default way of doing a strikethrough.

On the other hand, perhaps we should update the screen readers to make that work. Maybe it can be added as a category of stuff that is to be explained separately.

The least I can do is install a screen reader and know what it does with this.

Google Translate's "Listen" option seems to work well with it though.

WhatsApp good enough?

You mean ̶s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶? Yeah. It can be done without markdown.

My phone started doing the thing, where, if I let it discharge to 18% before setting it up to charge, it doesn't charge unless I turn it off and on again.

No, Restart does not work.

I get the apple with the leaf for solving the puzzle.
